# open
This command is handy for popping a Finder window from terminal, as well as opening files, folders, URLs, and applications straight from the command line.

## Open the current folder in Finder
Drop into whatever directory you're working in and run:
```
open .
```
## Other handy variations
- Open the parent directory:
```
open ..
```
- Open your home folder:
```
open ~
```
- Open a specific path:
```
open /some/path
```
- Reveal a specific file in Finder (highlights it instead of opening it):
```
open -R somefile
```
- Open a URL in your default browser:
```
open https://7minsec.com
```
- Open a file with a specific application:
```
open -a "Visual Studio Code" notes.md
```
